Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
-11 > 11a
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 11

$\frac{-11}{11}>\frac{11a}{11}$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$- 1>a$ or $a < - 1$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $a < - 1$. On the number - line, we use an open circle at $-1$ (since $a$ cannot equal $-1$) and draw a ray to the left of $-1$.
